In connection with this descent of st.

has been received by Mayor Ames:
St. Paul, Jan. IA, 1SST.-Hail Great Pluto:-
To tie Mortal Known as Mayor Ames:-
Learning through our trusted emissaries that
your fiery mlghtiness contemplates moving
upon the palace of BorealiS, the Ice King. on
the night of Jan. 81, your humble subject
would most specttully invite you to estab-
lish the headquarters of your camp at the
Castle of the Ryan, which is convenient to
the outworks of the frigd monarch. Beg
ging that due notice may be vouchsafed me
for the granting of my lowly petition and
humbly greeting your most royal nibs, allow
me TO subscribe myself with all modesty,
EMINENT PROVIDER EMERSON,
q. Lord of the Household.
The following answer was returned:
Minneapolis, Jan. IA, lSS7.-Emlnent Pro-
WIDER Emerson, Lord of tie Household. Hotel
Ryan, st. Paul. His Excellency: 1t is with
feelings of mingled pleasure, qualification
and surprise that l read your formal COM
munication handed me but moment ago by
one of your fleet snow shoe couriers. Pleas
IRE and qualification that am to enjoy your
generous and bountiful hospitality, and I'M
mitigated surprise that my plans, concocted
as they were at the mystic hour of midnight,
for grand coup de etat upon King BoreaIis'
fortress in your Sanity city, Oh the night of
Jan. ~ should have been discovered. The
attack was TO have been q surprise, yet it is
with no favor or trepidation, [ pledge you,
that will make the undertaking as at first
contemplated. Indeed, to- night the mighty
hosts OF the region where overcoats are un-
known and where the breath of polar bear
would evaporate in a twnkling, met in con-
clave. The magic circle a. drawn, the
charts unspread, and high up toward the
stal actic roof of my domain burnt the lurid
council nre. AL the rlgnC Oh my throne sat
the wise men, in the front the prelates
and at the left arch warriors of
my vast bulwark The modus operandi
OF the assault upon the castle was
discussed and most graphically explained
in all its phases, and when the decision was
finally arrived at the shout went up
from thousand lusty Threats, "On TO Vic
tory" That settled it. The battle comes off,
l shall marshal my forces $4,000 strong. at
the time designated, surround the fortress
and begin the fiery battle. To cross my fam
ing sword with the frigid battle ak of King
Borealis is my determination. Nothing
earthly would probably afford me such fiend-
ish delight. My forces are 10 ally valiant
and unreenting in the hour of battle, and
therefore | have no hesitation in confding to
you that we will come imbued with the most
implicit confidence in our proves aud
might, and that the ice crown must fail cap
tive to our assault. Yours confidentially,
